|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Keyboard Maintainer: [Gondolindrim](https://github.com/Gondolindrim)
|
|
* Hardware Supported: [open-source PCB](https://github.com/AcheronProject/Elongate) powered by STM32F072 microcontroller
|
|
* Hardware Availability: the revision beta of Elongate was never publicly sold.
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This is the QMK firmware repository for the Elongate PCB revision Beta and pre-revision Beta versions, which was the initial revision PCB for this keyboard; hence it was never sold publicly.
|
|
|
|
The Elongate PCB is an Open-Hardware-guideline-compliant PCB which files can be found at [this repository](https://github.com/AcheronProject/Elongate). Its designer and maintainer is [Gondolindrim](https://github.com/Gondolindrim).

## How to flash
|
|
|
|
### Enter bootloader
|
|
|
|
The DFU state in the bootloader can be accessed in 3 ways:
|
|
|
|
* **Bootmagic reset**: Hold down the key at (0,0) in the matrix (usually the top left key or Escape) and plug in the keyboard
|
|
* **Physical reset button**: press the button on the front of the PCB.
|
|
* **Keycode in layout**: Press the key mapped to `QK_BOOT` if it is available.
|
|
|
|
## Compile firmware
|
|
|
|
You can build the default layout firwmare for Elongate after setting up your build environment by using:
|
|
|
|
make acheron/elongate/beta:default
|
|
|
|
After entering DFU state in your PCB, you can download the binary file generated through `dfu-util` or a GUI like QMK Toolbox.
|
|
|
|
To directly flash the PCB after it is put into a DFU state, use
|
|
|
|
make acheron/elongate/beta:default:flash
|
|
|
|
See the [build environment setup](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_build_tools) and the [make instructions](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/getting_started_make_guide) for more information. Brand new to QMK? Start with our [Complete Newbs Guide](https://docs.qmk.fm/#/newbs).
